MALICE MIZER's first era, the Tetsu era, lasted from 1992 until 1994. Line-up: Tetsu (vocalist), Gaz (drums), Yu～ki (bass), Közi (guitar), and Mana (guitar). Gaz was replaced by Kami at the beginning of this era, and Gaz was only in the band for about a half a year.
The Gackt era followed after a one-year hiatus, beginning in 1995 and lasting until 1999. Line-up: Gackt (vocalist), Kami (drums), Yu～ki (bass), Közi (guitar), and Mana (guitar). This era was considered MALICE MIZER's "major" era, because after Voyage was released, MALICE MIZER signed to major record label Nippon columbia and released Merveilles, which is largely considered their best album. After the release of merveilles, Gackt announced his departure from the band, and in June of 1999, Kami died of a subarachnoid hemorrhage. MALICE MIZER was then reverted back into an indies status, on Mana's label Midi:Nette.
The final era featured Klaha , a classically trained opera vocalist. This lasted from 2000 until the eventual hiatus in 2001, from which it is largely believed they will not return, and many consider MALICE MIZER to be disbanded. Line-up: Klaha (vocalist), Yu～ki (bass), Közi (guitar), and Mana (guitar).
Post Projects
After his departure in early 1999, Gackt started a solo career which has been enormously successful; he is now one of Japan's top entertainers and TV personalities. Klaha started a solo career as well in December 2002; as of 2005 the status of his project is uncertain. Mana has formed his own solo project, Moi dix Mois, and simultaneously pursues a career as fashion designer for his Gothic Lolita fashion label, Moi-même-Moitié. He continues to also run his Indie record label, Midi:Nette, and is looking for bands to sign and produce. Közi has joined Haruhiko Ash's Goth/Industrial band Eve of Destiny and also has a solo project. After his departure in 1994, Tetsu has subsequently taken part in a series of bands such as Zigzo and Mega 8 Ball; his most recent being the independently released band nil. The whereabouts of Yu~ki were unknown until he briefly resurfaced in 2004 as lyricist for Közi's solo release "MEMENTO".
In 2010, the band had a brief revival during a Moi Dix Mois and Közi coupling tour. The line-up for this short revival only consisted of Mana, Közi, and Yu~ki, with Moi Dix Mois' drummer as a support member. Klaha did not show up to the performance, so Közi sang while playing guitar. "Beast of Blood" was one of the songs played. Currently Mana is still in Moi Dix Mois, Yu~ki still keeps to himself outside of the visual-kei scene, and Közi recently joined the new wave band XA-VAT.

Malice Mizer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
風のざわめきは指の隙間をすりぬけながら遊んでいる
君のてのひらを優しく差し出して
この空に飛び込んだ僕の行き先を瞬きもせずじっと見てる
何もない白い部屋の窓から小さな体をのばして
この空に少し近ついた君は僕と二人で踊っている
そんなに泣かないで
風がささやいで
「アスファルトの焼けた匂いもこの夜にはないよ」と
突然の周りの出来事に君はどうしていいか・・・戸惑っている？
君はてのひらを優しく差し出してこの胸に飛び込んだ
街の静けさも歳の数の灯も君のために
何もない白い部屋の窓から遠くの景色を眺めて
夕暮れに少し冷たい風をまとい
この日のためにいつも奇跡を祈っていた
何もない白い部屋の窓から小さな体をのばして
この空に少し近ついた君は僕と二人で踊っている
この空に少し近ついた君は僕と二人で踊っている
静かな夜には君の素敵な顔を見せて
The lyrics of "Brise" by MALICE MIZER describes a tranquil night where the singer and their lover gaze at the sky, feeling the wind through their fingers, and dancing together under the starry sky. The song's atmosphere is serene, and the lyrics depict a sense of longing and togetherness between the two individuals. The lyrics also suggest that the singer finds solace in comforting their lover during quiet nights by singing them lullabies. The song has a sense of innocence and simplicity that is both nostalgic and romantic.
The lyrics evoke the emotions and the atmosphere of a gentle, peaceful night. The description of the sky coming down, the wind playing between fingers, and the singer and their lover dancing are all moments of intimacy that symbolize the deep connection between them. The lyrics also evoke the sense of longing and missing, the need for comfort and solace that only the person you love can bring. The white room represents the purity and emptiness that love can fill, while the scenery they look at represents the vastness of their imagination and the hope they share for the future.
Overall, "Brise" is a song that radiates a sense of calmness and nostalgia, depicting the beauty of simple moments between two individuals who love each other.
